Replace Tithing with Generosity - Jeremy Duncan

Oct 14, 2024
32:55

In this week’s sermon, we tackle one of the most challenging aspects of faith: our relationship with wealth. Is generosity an obligation, or can it be a deeper, more fulfilling part of our spiritual journey? We explore how wealth has often corrupted religious spaces, leading to misconceptions like the 10% tithe, and we break down what the Bible really says about giving.

Join us as we:

 • Debunk the cultural myth of the tithe.
 • Explore Jesus’ teaching on generosity in the Sermon on the Mount.
 • Unpack René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire and how it shapes our modern relationship with wealth.
 • Discover how a “good eye” can lead us to a life of meaningful, intentional generosity that reflects the heart of God.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

 • Generosity isn’t about obligation; it’s about becoming the person you want to be.
 • Jesus calls us to invest in things that have lasting value, not just material wealth.
 • Faith and wealth are connected, and a healthy relationship with both can illuminate our path forward.

If you’re ready to rethink how faith and wealth intersect in your life, this message is for you.
